Abstract
Stem design was found to have an important influence on squeaking characteristics and its incidence, confirming and explaining similar clinical observations. Cup design itself was found to have no major influence on the dynamic behavior of the system but plays an important indirect role in influencing the magnitude of friction: Squeaking only occurs if the friction in the joint articulation is sufficient to excite vibrations to audible magnitudes. If friction is low, no squeaking occurs with any of the designs investigated.
